TECNO has made a splash at IFA Berlin 2024, showcasing its latest innovations in the AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) space. With the theme “Innovate for the Future,” the brand is hinting at a fascinating future for connected devices, catching the attention of those wandering through the Messe Berlin exhibition.
At the center of TECNO’s display is its bold AI vision, which they’re calling “Practical AI.” This vision is all about simplifying everyday tasks while making the tech experience smarter and more enjoyable. TECNO also unveiled its first AI-enhanced PC, the MEGABOOK T16 Pro 2024 Ultra. Powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, this machine boasts up to 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 1TB of storage. It’s geared toward those who dabble in AI-assisted writing, image generation, and other creative tasks, proving that practical AI can indeed rock the digital world.
Gaming fans are in for a treat as TECNO introduces the MEGA MINI Gaming G1 and the Pocket Go AR gaming set. The MEGA MINI Gaming G1 is a mini powerhouse, featuring a punchy Intel Core i9-13900H processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card. Compact yet formidable, this little device comes equipped with a water-cooling system to keep the fun from getting too hot under the collar.
Then there’s the Pocket Go, which combines AR glasses with a Windows gaming handheld for a truly immersive 6D gaming experience. While it’s 50% smaller and 30% lighter than the usual handhelds, it goes big with features like AI-powered head-tracking and a handy 0.71-inch Micro-OLED screen that simulates a whopping 215-inch display. This little gadget is set to shake up mobile gaming for sure.
But wait, there’s more. TECNO is expanding its AIoT collection, which now includes the Dynamic 1 Robotic Dog and the MEGABOOK K16S. The Dynamic 1 isn’t just a robotic pet; it’s a tech-savvy companion capable of shaking hands and maneuvering around obstacles, packed with sensors and a powerful ARM CPU.
The MEGABOOK K16S, aimed at the younger crowd—especially Gen Z—features a 16-inch screen and robust audio, perfect for binge-watching or gaming. Its 70Wh battery can last up to 17.5 hours, making sure the fun doesn’t run out too quickly.
TECNO is demonstrating its seamless AIoT ecosystem with tools like PC Manager’s One Leap, which allows users to multitask effortlessly across various devices, whether working, gaming, or using new wearables like the True 1 Air TWS earbuds or the OWS-powered FreeHear 1.
